If I haven't published anything then I usually get about 200 views a day - maybe a little more, but sometimes it will drop all the way to 180, or something.

When I have published something recently it's generally around 300. I do NOT chase keywords and try to write about high traffic topics at ALL though. I write only about whatever it is that I want to write about. When I write about products - I'm generally writing about expensive acoustic guitars - because I just love those things.

The only great trick that I know for driving traffic is to use reddit.com - making certain that I look around and figure out what the BEST possible "sub reddit" or category is to put my stuff in - my satire or controversy style rambling pieces are what does best there. Sheer volume of traffic us useless, really, from Reddit - but the hope there is that out of the hundreds that view something - at least a good handful or 50 of them will hit the Facebook "like" thing or tweet the thing, or even e mail the hub to someone, and that from there it will get linked on other sites.

Hey - I just e mailed you - and I was really pleased how the e mail turned out. It looked to me like I could copy paste the whole reddit submit link moduel in the message, let me know if you didn't understand my reply.

This part of the Hubpages forum is for helping you succeed. You should hang out here. I'm not the guru of Hubpages by any means, but if you e mail me personally with any question you will certainly either get an answer immediately, or I'll ask the people that I know that would know the answer.

Well, since sub domains have arrived, my traffic has increased. I am receiving about 1600-1700 hits a day. However, I am hoping I can make 4000 views like I used to a day. Of course, that was pre-panda google, and it was around holidays 2010

My ultimate goal here is to make at the bare minimum $250.00 a month & long term $500.00-$600.00/monthly

The thing is, I know it would be relatively easy to make a couple hundred dollars monthly if I could mimic the success of a few articles that receive 50-500 views a day.

One of my hubs is closing 100,000 views. Only if I could figure out a way to make more hubs that successful...The hub I wrote, frankly, was quite simple, but has done very well.

In my opinion, there are a few things to keep in mind if you wish to make a nice sum of money on HubPages.

(1) Focus on Subject matter that gets searched a lot. This means your keywords need to be accurate.

(2) Make sure the keywords and topic are low competition, else-wise, it does not matter if it gets a lot of searches if your going to get outranked by other websites etc..

(3) Hubs that 100-1000+ views a day can make a SIGNIFICANT difference in income. This is where it does not take many of these hubs to increase income.

(4) You will not have success on hubs that get 0 views a day or a few hits a month.

(5) Work consistently. If you constantly focus on specific niches that get searched, you may have unsuccessful, semi-successful, or very successful hubs. You might write a hub and it ends up receiving 100s of views per day for months/years.

Number 2 means that even if a topic/subject gets a 100,000s of searches on the internet a day, that does mean you will make a lot of money.

For example, "Lose weight very fast" "Shed those unwanted pounds"

Those are horrible topics & titles to write about because the competition is so high. And what that means is your going to have a tough time getting ranked high in Google because many websites are already at the top..

However, if you can manage to get backlinks for those types of topics, then you can raise your rank in google. It would be very tough to get on the first page second, or even third page of Google with phrases like that. And lower ranking means less potential visitors which means less income.

One of my real dogs (and all of my hubs are someone doggish) recently got picked up on the website of an expert in the subject it was written on. Traffic went through the roof. So yes, not popular has the chance to become popular.

Well, I hope I am posting this in the right spot. I've been on Hubpages now a little over 3 months, and am enjoying it thoroughly, all the writers here have been great. I have done a lot of research on increasing traffic to my hubs, and mostly people seem to collectively agree that to really boost...

I am experiencing an overall average off 66 percent less page views per day, for seven days versus a week previous and for the past two months. Such a huge drop in page views makes me think that Google has tuned up something again. I do know that I don't have the time and energy to keep...

I know that this is the most asked question here, but I'd still really appreciate it if anybody answered.I've been on Hubpages for about 6 months now, and I've just published my 7th Hub, and I'm starting to write a few more. As of right now, I have 239 total views, and each Hub has roughly 36...

I rarely complain and try to be as polite as possible. However,there are some things that sometimes really confuse me and I struggle to understand how HP works. For example I recently came upon hubs that struggle (at best) with the use of the English language. The author has very few hubs (two...

This site has been suggested as a way to get traffic. I spent a few hours, which turned into 3 days, to figure out how to navigate it. It appears to be a site about links, not really content, but they get angry if you post links? What am I missing? I had to go on under 3 names, but I tried to leave...
